Abstract The lattice Weinberg - Salam model without fermions is investigated numerically for realistic choice of bare coupling constants correspondent to thevalue of the Higgs mass . On thephase diagram there exists the vicinity of the phase transition between thephysical Higgs phase and the unphysical symmetric phase, where the fluctuationsof the scalar field become strong. In this region Nambu monopoles are dense andthe perturbation expansion around trivial vacuum cannot be applied. Out of thisregion the ultraviolet cutoff cannot exceed the value around 1 Tev. Within the fluctuational region the maximal value of the cutoff is (The data is obtained on the lattice )

Conclusions We demonstrate that there exists the fluctuational region on the phase diagram of the lattice Weinberg – Salam model. This region is situated in the vicinity of the phase transition between the physical Higgs phase and the unphysical symmetric phase of the model. In this region the fluctuations of the scalar field become strong and the perturbation expansion around trivial vacuum cannot be applied. ?
